    Thinks my fingers are food

    My guy keeps trying to shoot for my fingers whenever I put my hand in the cage. I had been handfeeding him to help him get accustomed to me. Today he just reeled himself all the way in and bit my finger :D Funny as that was I'm still afraid he could hurt himself. I don't pull away once he's...

    Casque starting to kink

    Noticed over the last week his casque is starting to twist slightly as it grows. It's not a serious kink and it's not floppy or anything ridiculous like that but I'm wondering if it's a sign of any deficiency? He has grown super fast and I've seen other healthy looking yemens without...

    Calyptratus - how old?

    I was under the impression this guy was 5 months old. But some forum members seem to think he is very big for that age. Guy at the store said 12 weeks old when I got him. Here's a pic - He is pretty puffed out... but I'm not 100% sure on his age and I did think he might be older than the...

    Dehydrated or am I paranoid... sunken eyes.

    Moved into his new reptibreeze. Just wondering if this is normal for a veiled... looks mildly dehydrated to me but I'm no expert so... Urates are normal and white so I don't think it's a serious thing. Just want to get ahead of it if it's developing.

    Very restless, clawing and pushing at top of cage

    Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled, ~5months old Handling - As little as possible. Had to take him out once after doing some research on this forum and finding out most of what the store gave me wasn't so good for him. Feeding - Release about 9-12 crickets/day into his enclosure. He...

    Veiled/Yemen retained sperm clutches

    Pretty much everything I've read says that clutches from retained sperm tend to produce weaker offspring. But it's hard to find details on how much weaker they are. I suppose my question is - Are they so much weaker that it's simply not worth incubating them or is it possible to produce a decent...

    Looking for Translucent Veiled Female UK

    I'm aware FLChams have some beautiful trans for sale but I'm uncomfortable with the idea of shipping from the US even if they would agree to it and it could be done. Anybody know of a UK based calyptratus breeder who has these?

    Spends most of his time inches from UV bulb. Is this a problem or normal behaviour?

    3 month old veiled chameleon. The UV bulb is mounted above the cage and he spends most of his time on the back wall at the top right up against the mesh. I have felt the mesh and it's not hot so the bulb is far enough away that he won't burn himself by staying there. I'm just wondering if this...

    Water safe to drink?

    Looking at the water quality report for my area and I can't see anything that could harm my chams. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for? Chlorine is extremely low (<1mg/litre) and Calcium is actually fairly high, which I would think would benefit my cham as opposed to...

    New Veiled Cham, White spots. Normal shedding or possible fungal infection?
